Kieran O'Donnell: They are of dubious value.
- State Banking Sector. (3 Nov 2009)
Kieran O'Donnell: The Minister made the argument that one must take account of the credit needs of the Irish economy in terms of any recapitalisation of the banks. Anglo Irish Bank, into which â¬24 billion will shortly have gone, will provide no credit. The bank is not systemic for the banking system in the economy. Does the Minister not, therefore, think it appropriate at this stage in terms of value for...

- Mortgage Arrears: Motion (3 Nov 2009)
Kieran O'Donnell: It is ironic that we are debating the plight of homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes during Opposition Private Members' time, having regard to the amount of time that was spent debating the NAMA legislation. One would have to question if we have our priorities right. We have all met people who are experiencing such difficulties in our clinics. They are typically young people...

- National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report Stage (4 Nov 2009)
Kieran O'Donnell: In the interest of consistency of contributions I will do that. I will speak to amendment No. 2. The taxpayers are investing â¬54 billion in NAMA. If it was the private sector, the taxpayers, like other investors in that sector, would be effectively shareholders. They would have access to annual accounts and could attend annual general meetings in order to put forward their views. They...

Kieran O'Donnell: I would be interested to know how the members of the Green Party view the fact that the Oireachtas committee is not being put on a statutory footing. No doubt their view would be that it needs to be. Deputy Mulcahy said that the public will accept no less.
- National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Report Stage (Resumed). (4 Nov 2009)
Kieran O'Donnell: If the public will accept no less it is entitled to have a committee that remains, regardless of whether there is a change of Government. The Minister should be trying to build credibility in the NAMA process rather than reduce it. The public is watching this debate and sees that it is being sold a three-card trick as the Minister talks about setting up an Oireachtas sub-committee with...
